Does Xperia Z5 support SD cards with 200GB of storage?

[GhKerh]

Hello,

I would like to install a "microSDXC SanDisk Ultra 200 Go Classe 10 UHS-I" for my Xperia Z5.

Is there any problem to avoid or known about this card format?

Thanks for help!

Again: and how to transfert data from actual card to the new?

Thank's!

Hey @GhKerh!

Xperia Z5 supports SD cards of up to 200GB, so the one you listed should be compatible! As always when it comes to third party accessories I can't leave you any guarantees, but judging from the specifications I can't see anything which could cause it not to be compatible.  

In regards on how to transfer information from your old card to a new one it may be a bit tricky. You will have to store the data temporarily on a medium such as a computer or the phones internal storage, and then transfer it over to your new SD card. Since the device can only have one SD card inserted at once, it is not possible to transfer directly from card to card using the device I'm afraid.

I understand that if you have a lot of data which exceeds the phones interal storage capacity, then you may use a computer. Simply connect your device and open the computers file explorer, move the files temporarily to a local location on your computer, disconnect your device and exchange cards, connect the device again and now transfer all the data back. 

Let me know how it went!

Buy an "Usb on the go" cable and an SDcard adapter.
Connect the cable, then the adapter, then transfer your datas.

Both equipments are very cheap, nowadays.

@Bhonder that's a great suggestion, thanks for helping out!

Thank you so much!

When I'll got my card I'll come back here!

Done !! 

1st: I joined my Xperia Z5 with a small PC (because on my Mac it's almost impossible - Sony Bridge for Mac.app is a shame !!) ; I make a folder on the PC, transfert my SD-Card in this folder. 

2d: I stop my smartphone and change the Sd cards and restart my Xperia. No problem (may be 45 seconds :).

Excellent !!!

3rd: I restart and plugged my Xperia to the PC and transfert all the folder on the new SD-Card.

It takes a little time but all is perfect !
